KEY PRODUCT FEATURES & USER BENEFITS
Next-generation Xeon Processing and Enhanced System Architecture
NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 is built to take full advantage of the latest Xeon processors from
2.80BGHz up to 3.20GHz. These processors are packaged in the new FC-mPGA2 form factor, a
603-pin socket version of the Xeon.
The design of NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 is built upon a 533MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), the
E7501 chipset from Intel and DDR266 SDRAM memory. The Intel Xeon processor for dualproc essing servers offers users s evera l new system perfor mance boost s, with the Int el Netbur st
microa rchit ectur e on Intel’s 0 .13 -micron manu fact ur ing proces s, H yper-T hrea ding technology, a
larger cache size and the E7501 server chipset.
The Intel E7501 chipset supports DDR memory technology and is op timized for t he Intel Xeon
proc essor. The new chipset will accelera te memory access to increa se pla tform per forma nce and
deliver new levels of per f ormance for I/O intens ive s erver a p plicat ions.
This chips et als o a llows incr eas ed thr oughpu t a nd enha nced overa ll s yst em perf orma nce t hrou gh
the high-performance 533MHz FSB and full-speed 266MHz memory access.
The I/O subsystem of NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 is built on a dual peer PCI bus architecture
that provides concurr ency of data trans fers between the different high speed I/O cha nnels and
CPU or memory. I/O tra f f ic is balanced as follows :
- First PCI bus (32-bit): IDE, graphics and I/O ports
- Second PCI bus (64-bit) : Dual- port L AN and 3x 64-bit full-height PCI s l ots
- Third PCI bus (64-bit): Ultra 320 SCSI channels and 3x 64-bit low-profile PCI slots

• Security with mecha nic al locks and monitoring:
The front bezel contains a mechanical lock and an intrusion switch to
prevent access to the computer chassis. When the cover is opened, the
switch transmits an alarm signal to the system board, where server
management s of tware processes the s i gnal.
• Soft ware Locks via the system set up utility
The BIOS set up utility provides a number of security features to prevent
